Principles

Josh Polsinelli founded NextLight to focus on purchasing a single business in the midwest. He is committed to working with an owner on a flexible transition plan and will ensure that the business thrives in its next stage. The following principles form the cornerstone of that vision.

Reliable, dependable

Reputations are built over years and decades but can be lost in a moment. I deliver on what I say I will do.

Act with honesty and integrity

“It's easier to hold your principles 100 percent of the time than it is to hold them 98 percent of the time” -- Clayton Christensen

Resourcefulness

Excellence sometimes means making the most of what you have and taking intelligent risks.

Recognize the contributions of others

Teams win together. Recognizing and appreciating what others bring to the table enables the whole to be greater than the parts.

Accountability and ownership

Clear goals and ownership simplify execution.

Be curious

Always seek to understand the unknown. Questions like “how might we do X?” or “what do you mean?” are my north star.

Debate, decide, and commit

I challenge my beliefs and seek out diverse viewpoints. Even if the decision is difficult, I commit and move forward together with my team.

Growth mindset

I am an optimist at heart. I crave tough problems and seek creative solutions.

Commitment to others

Going beyond yourself gives work and life meaning.
